In light of Rotary International’s global initiative that launched the world’s biggest commercial project “End Polio” campaign, the Rotary Club of Chinatown-Manila and Rotaract Club of Chinatown-Manila respectively will staged a joint fun run event entitled “Knock Out Polio Run 2013” last March 2, 2013 at The Venice Piazza, McKinley Taguig.
The proceeds of this event will be used to support the Rotary’s unique role in eradicating polio through the PolioPlus Program. This program is geared towards immunizing children and saving them from life-long paralysis or death. The event was Co-Hosted by Rotary Clubs: Manila, Pasay MOA, Raha Sulayman and sponsored by The Venice Piazza, Chinese-Filipino Business Club, Inc., Business Innovation Gateway, SEAOIL Philippines, Inc. Uratex, San Yang, Unilab, Pascual Laboratories, Wilkins, Coca-Cola , Funlipix On-Site Photo Booth,CHInoy TV , BusinessWorld, HerWorld, Manila Bulletin, When In Manila, CIIT Philippines, A Runners Circle, Rainbow Glitters, Magnus Eventus, Race Chip, Ateneo Celadon, and Slimmers World. This fund raising activity does not only aim to raise funds to sustain the Polio Plus program but also to effectively increase our individual awareness about the said disease. This comes with the hope that we personally reach out to do something for that remaining 1% so that one day, we can achieve a polio-free society. The Rotaract Club of Chinatown-Manila Charter President John Alexiz Tan led the Gun Start ceremonies.
